Interceptors immediate launch... Man all Mobiles… put Skydiver in the picture… THIS IS A MAXIMUM SECURITY ALERT!
Although our American cousins will be celebrating Space: 1999 over in Los Angeles this weekend, here in the UK, we have our own celebration at the end of next month featuring the Anderson’s other live action sci-fi TV series, UFO.
The next convention and location tour I’m eagerly looking forward to is PROJECT: FORD and UFOria 3: ALIENS ATTACK – Part 1. The title’s a bit of a mouthful, but this is the big one for fans of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson’s UFO.
It takes place from 31st October to 2nd November, 2025.
Like last year’s successful Secret Service Location Tour that took place last year, and believe me for the Anderson fan it was unmissable, this tour has very limited spaces, and as I write this there are just 13 places left.
The event takes place at Moor Hall, Cookham village situated in the county of Berkshire.
Apart from the tour of locations in the Pinewood area seen in UFO, and one or two other Anderson puppet TV series, there’s also special guests, including Puppeteer Mary Turner and Ayshea Brough, who played Ayshea Johnson in the series, plus the extra special guest who’s flying in from Australia to attend is Keith Alexander who played SHADO Operative Keith Ford, hence the convention title.

Sounds great Scoop.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky enough to have handled both an Interceptor and a UFO model from the show, and worked many times at the Harlington Straker Studios aka BBC Elstree Studios.
I'm as green as an alien with envy, Mish. ;D
DeleteSadly, as you'll know the studio is due for demolition and will probably be gone by the time the location tour starts, and as such there's no plan to visit there.
It should be a good do, though. The last one was very good, and ,of course there's much more to it than just the tour.
Not wishing to rub it in (but it will), I've even parked a car in the parking area in front of the drop off point that Straker uses, and then walked into the reception, as he does.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you can hear Barry Gray's incidental music (in your head) as you do it !
Ha,ha! I can't blame you for that, Mish. If I'd have had the opportunity I'd have done exactly the same thing. Nice one.:)
